Locally built websites for Inner West businesses with character — Newtown to Balmain, Marrickville to Glebe. Designed for the area's small-business energy.
Active Web Solutions is Sydney based, and the Inner West is one of our favourite parts of town to work in. From specialty cafes and restaurants in Newtown and Marrickville, to creative studios and small agencies in Balmain and Glebe, to trades and professional services in Leichhardt and Annandale — the Inner West has more independent small businesses per square kilometre than almost anywhere in Sydney.
That kind of density also means competition. The Inner West rewards businesses that look the part online — modern, fast, distinctive, and built around what makes the business actually different. We design websites that match that energy. Sydney based — if you're anywhere from Penrith to Bondi we're happy to meet you in person. Otherwise we work over email, shared docs, and video calls.

Why Active Web Solutions
Sydney based, with a focus on Inner West clients — happy to meet you in person if you're nearby (Newtown to Balmain), otherwise we work over email, video, and shared docs.
Designed around your brand and goals from scratch. Looks unique, performs fast, fits the business it represents.
From $490 setup + $49/month — design, build, hosting, SSL, backups, SEO, and updates. No lock-in, cancel anytime.
Most sites are live within 1-2 weeks of an approved brief. Larger or more complex builds take longer — we give you a realistic timeline up front.
Our Process
We meet for a quick coffee somewhere local — King Street, Darling Street, Norton Street, your call — or jump on a phone call. We listen to what you want the site to actually do for your business.
You receive a clear written proposal covering scope, timeline, and total cost — before a single line of code is written.
Our designers create stunning mockups reflecting your brand. You review and approve before development begins.
We build the full site on a staging server — clean, fast, SEO-optimised code — and walk you through every page so you can request any final changes.
We handle the go-live, SSL, DNS, and indexing. Then we walk you through your new site so you can manage it yourself — with our Sydney support team standing by whenever you need us.
